Adding a Website Chat Widget

Put a chat button on your website that feeds conversations into eGrow: set a display name, welcome and suggested messages, then install the embed snippet.

Chat Widgets put a chat button on your website so visitors can message you directly โ€” and every conversation lands in your eGrow Inbox alongside WhatsApp and Instagram. Manage them at https://v2.egrow.com/inbox/chat-widgets.

Creating a widget

Click New Chat Widget and set it up:

  • Display name โ€” the name shown at the top of the chat window.
  • Welcome messages โ€” the greeting a visitor sees when they open the chat. You can add welcome messages per language so international visitors are greeted properly.
  • Suggested messages โ€” quick-start buttons (each a short label + the message it sends) so a visitor can begin a conversation in one tap, e.g. “Track my order” or “Talk to sales.”

Installing it on your site

Each widget gives you an embed snippet โ€” a small piece of code. Paste it into your website's HTML (before the closing </body> tag) and the chat button appears on your site. Use the Test option to preview and try the widget before you publish it.

Tip: a couple of well-chosen suggested messages dramatically increase how many visitors start a chat โ€” lead with your most common questions.

What's next

Once conversations start arriving, handle them like any other chat โ€” with quick replies, labels, and even your AI Agent.
